POTW indeed sorted (As stated earlier).

What a collection of period machinery.

Restoring these cars to concourse is a blasphemy.

That’s the only negative. It’s only in very recent years that Americans have started to wean themselves off the inherent need for everything to be as shiny and new as possible.

Doesn’t anyone else think the £5.7 million price-tag is way over the top? Judging by the report, these are not particularly successful examples of each model and have had any patina restored out of them, so would be at the bottom of their respective value estimates. I can’t see any individual car being worth £1 million, let alone all 6.

That's why some collectors buy and build a replica to race with.

I guess they are only worth this amount (if indeed they do sell for anything like this amount) as a collection, to be sold together
